This listing is for one 1861 Nova Scotia One Cent coin, as pictured. Small Rosebud variety. Very Fine (VF) Grade / Condition.
These large cents, and half cents were the only coins produced for the Nova Scotian Dollar, and were only produced for 4 years. Between 1861 and 1864, bronze ½ and 1 cent coins were issued. A brief period in history and a piece of that history represented in these coins.
The dollar was the currency of Nova Scotia between 1860 and 1871. It replaced the Nova Scotian pound at a rate of 5 dollars = 1 pound (1 dollar = 4 shillings) and was consequently worth less than the Canadian dollar (worth 4s 1.3d). The Nova Scotian dollar was replaced by the Canadian dollar at a rate of 73 Canadian cents = 75 Nova Scotian cents, thus maintaining the difference between the two currencies established in 1860.
